1733 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1733 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 15-unit residential building located in Midwood, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Eduard Shusterman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaint recorded in July 2023 regarding wall paint/plaster, which required HPD inspection but could not be accessed. In 2022, the property faced multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions and appliance issues, particularly concerning electric/gas ranges and pest infestations, with some violations issued during inspections.

Notably, a heat/hot water issue was reported in October 2021, resulting in violations. The building's current violations, as of August 2023, are concentrated in apartment 2 and include multiple maintenance issues such as defective smoke detectors, electrical switches, plumbing fixtures, and various interior surface problems, as well as a pest infestation citation. All of the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infestation cases, indicating successful pest management in this regard.

The building had two Department of Buildings violations from 2018 and 2019, both of which were resolved by late 2021/early 2022, specifically relating to elevator issues that were addressed by Millennium Elevator. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 2, there is evidence of management responding to violations and completing necessary repairs, as shown by the certification of multiple violations in August 2023. The property maintains a record of cleanliness with no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place.
